Even though I've taught workshops and written how-to books, I feel funny calling myself a teacher. And even though I make art every day, I feel funny calling myself an artist. And every day I learn something new, yet I feel funny calling myself a student.

Well, here on my blog I'm all three, and I'm here to share my experiences as such with anyone who may share my interests in photo fusion...combining photographs with mixed media.

So far this month I've been a student learning about paint and the world of color therein. Making this valentine for Garth gave me an excuse to experiment with layers of acrylic paints to create depth and texture. I stuck with a monochromatic color scheme. Alas, no photo was included...here, the focal point is a set of hearts made out of paper cut from an old thesaurus describing synonyms for "love." My next project will feature a photo, I promise.

Hello!

Thanks for coming by!

If you’ve always wondered what to do with your favorite photos, you’ve come to the right place. I love combining photos and sometimes words with traditional and digital art supplies and techniques to create fine art and crafts...I call it “photo fusion.” I also love sharing what I’ve learned, and the people, places and things I've discovered and been inspired by along the way. So drop by often to see what’s new, post a comment if you have any questions or suggestions, and please be sure to visit my website and my shop, which is filled with creative kits and other products I know you'll love.
